Have you lit the fire yet?

beertons

Bit of a nip in the evenings now.

Cee-Jay-Cee

Yeah going to light one in a while if I can find the matches...



ANYONE SEE THE BLOODY MATCHES???? I PUT THEM IN THE PRESS LAST APRIL, WHERE THE HELL HAVE THEY GONE!!!

GLaDOS

I have a stupid gas fire that I never bother with

Would love a proper fire.

freshpopcorn

We started lighting them last week but we haven't lit them every night.
We're lighting one tonight tough!

lertsnim

I will when it's cold.

SCOOP 64

No too early, wait until xmas.

meeeeh

I'm cooking dinner in short sleeves, flip flops and I am hot as hell. It's nice to live in a well insulated house.

Witches don't burn as good as they used to

Zaph

No, I don't live in the 19th century. I have put the central heating on once or twice though.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

Too warm yet for a fire or the heating. Sat in a t-shirt outside for coffee today and reading the paper. Far form chilly yet.

Shenshen

We did tonight, yes. First time since the summer, but with the wind and rain it just felt like now's the time.

It will be a while before we turn on the heating, though. We don't usually turn that on before late November.

Galwayguy35

No.

I like the open fire on a winters night but it's still too warm for it yet.

yellowlabrador

I'm cuddling a hot water bottle

Mint Sauce

Only had it lit twice since last winter. Today, and only because was in house all day.

Still in the shorts though.

HeidiHeidi

Yep, the stove made its debut tonight. How depressing!

I'm furiously resisting putting the central heating on though - I'm going away on 1st November, going to see if I can stick it out till then!

bee06

Lit it Thursday night (well, the husband did). Our house is roasting so we didn't need it for the heat but it's a nice comfort after a crappy day/week.

stargazer 68

Feck that! Im menopausal so I have my own heating
Family can put a jumper on!

schizo1014

I've been lighting fires the last two weeks here up north.

sjb25

Literally just fired up the stove just now

May order a load of firewood tomorrow now aswell

Cork Lass

We've lit the stove the last few nights. Lovely.

That's the next job!

Summer wind

We moved house 6 months ago. Our new house is roasting so we haven't lit a fire or turned on the heating yet.

beertons

I'm hoping to hold out for another few days, but I brought in the logs and coal earlier. No fire lighters, so herself won't try to light it on the sly.

Stigura

Today, as I woke up beneath a single, thin sheet; I said to the Dog ~ as I eyed the quilt hanging there .....

" I suppose, one day, we'll be laying under that again? ".

But, as it's 66F in here, as I type? I don't really see it happening just yet.


No. I tend to look to the stove for the start of November. Even that can prove a bit premature, these days.

ednwireland

spent saturday morning with my new electric log splitter (thats about a quarter of the wood pile split !)
first fire got lit last night

mansize

Lit on Aug 31, Sept 1,..., 4 nights last week, Sat and Sunday but NOT today!

ArnieSilvia

I live in two houses over the week:

1970's one refurbished recently, freezing cold, sleeping under duvet and blanket in a tracksuit:eek:, you'd need heating on really all the time but my housemates like it this way (?)

My own house, 2014 BER A2 with heat recovery system, hot in the summer but there's never been below 23 degrees in my bedroom since March without heating at all. Prefer it this way, yay

2forjoy

i know its a miserable night but my car says its 16 degrees out there right now I'm in Tipperary

Autosport

Don't use the open fire as we have it blocked off so the birds can nest in it. Have had the central heating twice this year so far but not tonight

adocholiday

The Backwards Man

It's the women folk, they are cold creatures

There's a fire lit every day at home. We still use fire to heat water for washbasins or when taking a bath, and as well as this, the house is very badly insulated; you would feel the cold at night-time on all but the warmest summer days.

keith16

Won't feel the Christmas now.

Rental property so wouldn't be allowed touch it anyway

RayM

I don't have a fire, but I haven't put the heating on yet. I'm still going around in t-shirts.

mud

My house is freezing so I lit the fire a couple of nights last week. Pretty skint though so when it gets cold I tend to hibernate in my room rather than try to heat a few rooms.

I want to make one of those tea-light heaters, must look out for a terracotta pot and some bricks!

Satriale

Toughen up, Lads, it's roasting yet.

beertons

Lit it this evening. Good frost due again tonight, and got the chimney cleaned earlier.

suicide_circus

It was 3°c in Dublin city centre this morning

The Backwards Man

I woke up to three degrees this morning too.



Ooooooo precious moments.

I had a gas fire.Couldn't afford to keep running it and the house was almost instantly freezing when it was switched off.
Paid a gas fitter €30 to disconnect the gas feed and ripped out the fire myself.
Fitted a insert stove.Got the walls pumped with insulation.
Best thing I ever did.Toasty.

boobar

Lit one last night, grand and toasty while we caught up on some low brow tv on sky plus.

GeneralVanilla

Just put on my first 'feckin cold isnt it' jumper of the year.

Back to the misery.
